    I just noticed in a couple of the photos that you have two construction connectors tieing the 2x4 rafter supports to the deck. Good choice. Hopefully others scanning the photos will notice that...

    Good job Jafo. That stove is a real piece of work. I like the supply air to it. BIG improvement over drawing air from inside the yurt. Sweet. Thanks for the thread and the details.

    Sounds to me like you are getting the 'holy grail' of stoves. I'll be looking forward to your comments about the stove down the road. Thanks for giving us the info.

    You know, Jafo, I entertained the 'ripped plywood' idea before I built my first yurt. Construction plywood is good as sheathing in large panels. The flaws have little effect on overall strength...
